JOIN US FOR AN AWESOME TIME AT CHURCH CAMP THIS SUMMER!

June 12-15, 2011

Junior/Junior High Camp

June 15-18, 2011

High School Camp

Summer camp build friendships and allows the youth and adults in our community to come together for a few days of fun and fellowship. Camp Lucerne, located two hours northwest of Milwaukee, provides an ideal lakeside setting for summer camp.

During the Junior/Junior High Camp, kids going into 3rd through 8th grades have a wonderful opportunity to grow in their faith and have an AWESOME time! Daytime camp activities are divided by grade level (grades 3-5 and 6-8), but everyone enjoys meals and evening campfire together.

During the High School Camp, youth going into 9th through 12th grades can also grow in their faith and have lots of fun with their friends. High schoolers will participate in general sessions, worship, free time, and campfire activities together.

This year’s camp theme is “Turn Around”. Through small group activities, song, crafts and devotions, campers will be encouraged to turn around to follow God's plan for their lives. They will also learn about the power of forgiveness and the second chances God offers everyday to follow Jesus.

Will you join us this summer? Everyone is welcome, whether or not you are a church member.
